Re: Don't be an embarrassment

In Response To: Don't be an embarrassment (General Battuta)

: Any Halo fan worth her salt should know that the lineage of that design long
: predates Halo. In fact, we're not even on the same branch of the family
: tree - Elysium is set on a Stanford torus, which dates back to the 70s.
: Last time the movie came up on these forums there was a clamor about
: Blomkamp's clear Halo inspiration, but we have about as much claim on the
: design as we do on the notion of power armor.

: Meanwhile, the early Halo fiction contains a couple dead giveaways that point
: to our favorite ring's direct ancestor - and it's not the Niven ringworld!

Woah, man, I like your enthusiasm and sharing of knowledge, but my comment was only intended lightheartedly :) And, only since you said "worth her salt" will I mention that I am, in fact, a dude :)
